Laws governing the cooperative societies are consistent in all states. These laws give the member of a housing society the right to nomination during his life time. This is quite contrary to the rules of other property related cases where nomination comes into force after the demise of the member. The question then arises that, can the nominee get full proprietarily rights over a flat merely because he has been nominated by a deceased member of the society. Many people are under the wrong impression that once a nomination is over and that the nominee would have no problem acquiring the property. And that the legal heirs of the member will pose no problem for the nominee.

Inference: Cooperative movement has started with cooperative housing societies.
